Thanks everybody, I got those photohgraphs.
It is all the same with the net on it covering the front turret.
All those photographs are taken during the demonstration at about 500 m away..... I was looking for more than that.....thanks anyway....
By the way, the next generation of main gun is 150 plus on wards.... the turret is design to take bigger gun, just like Abrams....Presently, German is developing a bigger gun....maybe the old American 152 mm will be the next weapon come into use but (without the stupid missile) plus an autoloader due to the wieght of the ammo. So MBT of the future will be armed with a 150 plus gun....

Btw, that picture is about 3 years old, so lots may have changed since then.
